EspañolKnow Your Rights is an educational workshop on the rights, protection and safety of immigrants. These workshops provide tools and training as a way to generate legal knowledge and empowerment, promote civic engagement, support each other and join forces within the community. The main focus is to educate and inform immigrants on what to do? and safety measures they can take if they encounter Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or when faced with an immigration raid or police action.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Please note the following tips:
- Do not let the Migra enter your home without permission.
- Do not open the door to strangers.
- Do not sign anything until you speak to a lawyer.
- Do not give false documents to the Migra.
- If you are arrested, ask for your case number and a hearing in your city.
- Prepare a plan of action to protect your family.
- Keep quiet when questioned by any officer.
- It is likely that, even if you say nothing, the Migra will detain you or try to intimidate you.
- La Migra cannot try to deport you if it does not have the necessary information to prove that you are undocumented. If he tells you where he is from, how he entered the country and that he has no papers, that is all the information needed to detain and deport him. If you do not give information to the Migra, they have to let you go free.
